Definitions

  • the invention concerns an arm for spectacles. It also relates to methods for the production of arms for spectacles.
  • arms for spectacles which are made of thermoplastic or thermosetting polymeric material.
  • thermoplastic or thermosetting polymeric material In the continued search for new solutions, both functional and aesthetic, a requirement has arisen in this field for making spectacle arms of composite material comprising a polymeric matrix in which reinforcing fibres are embedded.
  • This type of material in itself, exhibits optimum mechanical characteristics and an aesthetic appearance which renders its use in the production of spectacle arms particularly attractive. However, it is decidedly lacking from the point of view of the flexing capacity, easily resulting in breakages when subjected even to limited flexing movements.
  • spectacle arms should exhibit optimum flexibility characteristics both in order to adapt to the best possible extent to the various shapes of the heads of the users, and in order to withstand, without breaking into pieces, the stresses and/or impacts to which a pair of spectacles may be subjected during normal use.
  • suitable resilient return devices which act on the articulation between the arm and the front frame of the spectacles, and which allow the arms to be resiliently deflected with respect to a predefined open position.
  • a further drawback connected with the use of composite material lies in the fact that it is chemically poorly compatible with the common thermoplastic and elastomeric polymeric materials used in the field, so that it would be difficult, for example, to overmould an element made of polyolefin or polyamide material onto a arm made of composite material, because of the lack of adhesion between the two materials.
  • a further drawback connected with the use of composite materials lies in the possibility of producing splinters and having sharp edges in the event of breakage.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is that of producing a spectacle arm structurally and functionally designed to remedy the limitations mentioned above with reference to the prior art cited.
  • a further aim is that of improving the methods of production of arms for spectacles and containing the costs.
  • the invention concerns a spectacle arm comprising a first portion made of composite material onto which is coupled a film of thermoplastic polymeric material, as a covering for the first portion.
  • the invention concerns a method for producing spectacle arms made of composite material onto which is coupled a thermoplastic polymeric film.
  • the spectacle arms according to the invention are provided with optimum surface characteristics, have a pleasing aesthetic appearance, and at the same time are provided with optimum mechanical characteristics.
  • the arms according to the invention are surprisingly very flexible and have good resilient properties, without incurring unwanted breakages.
  • This advantageous characteristic is obtained by the provision of the polymeric film as a covering for the portion made of composite material.
  • Spectacles provided with arms according to the invention may therefore be used advantageously for sporting or competitive activities, the risk of the user losing the spectacles being particularly reduced. Moreover, since the arms according to the invention are provided with a good resilient return, spectacles provided with such arms maintain their original shape almost unaltered over time.
  • the presence of the polymeric film makes it possible to apply to the arms according to the invention thermoplastic or elastomeric to material which adheres well to the polymeric film, in order to create desired aesthetic patterns, optionally in relief, for example the logos of the production company, or in order to produce specific elements of the arm such as, for example, the end section of the arm or an element for supporting same on the head of the users.
  • the composite materials used in the arm comprise a polymeric matrix and percentages by weight equal to or greater than around 50% of fibres, the fibres being of the continuous type, unidirectional and in mat form.
  • composite materials are very different, both from the production point of view and that of the mechanical characteristics, from the composite materials comprising a polymeric matrix in which are embedded, up to a maximum of 40% by weight, reinforcing fibres of reduced length (known as “short fibres”), generally dispersed in the matrix in random order.
  • short fibres reinforcing fibres of reduced length
  • the composite material used in the arms of the invention comprises a percentage by weight of fibres of between around 50% and around 70%, impregnated in a polymeric matrix which may be of the thermosetting type, for example based on epoxides or polyester, or of the thermoplastic type, for example based on polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and other polyolefins, optionally substituted, of polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes, or of copolymers, such as for example ABS.
  • a polymeric matrix which may be of the thermosetting type, for example based on epoxides or polyester, or of the thermoplastic type, for example based on polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and other polyolefins, optionally substituted, of polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes, or of copolymers, such as for example ABS.
  • Inorganic fibres such as, for example, glass fibres, carbon fibres or mineral fibres, organic fibres or aramide fibres may be used as reinforcing fibres.
  • the composite material used in the present invention is generally composed of layers superposed on one another and, preferably, the first portion comprises a plurality of between 2 and 5 superposed layers.
  • the fibres present in the composite material may be processed so as to be substantially unidirectional, or so as to be braided, or woven, i.e. disposed in a warp and weft arrangement.
  • substantially unidirectional fibres extending parallel to the predominant longitudinal direction of the arm.
  • the height of the arm there is meant the dimension of the latter which is transverse to the predominant longitudinal direction of the arm and substantially parallel to the head of the user when the spectacles are being worn.
  • thermoplastic polymeric film within the scope of the invention various types of materials may be used; the type of polymeric material effectively used is selected from the materials chemically most compatible with the composite material used.
  • the polymeric material is selected from a group of polymeric mixtures comprising the mixtures based on polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins, substituted polyolefins, polyurethanes, or based on copolymers such as ABS.
  • the arm has a plate-like configuration defining two opposed principal surfaces and provision is made for both principal surfaces to be covered by a respective thermoplastic polymeric film.
  • the first portion made of composite material comprises a finishing layer of metallised composite material disposed directly in contact with the film, which is itself transparent.
  • the finishing layer becomes directly visible through the film, imparting a particular aesthetic quality to the arm, while at the same time maintaining the flexing capacity, the resilience and the possibility of overmoulding a thermoplastic or elastomeric material.
  • the finishing layer of metallised composite material is coupled onto the film on the opposite side from the first portion, so as to become the outermost layer of the arm, while the film is interposed between the first portion and the finishing layer.
  • the method of production of the arm provides for the arms to be obtained by cutting from a plate, formed of the composite material constituting the first portion covered by the thermoplastic polymeric film.
  • the plate is itself formed by the superposition of several layers of a material which is a precursor of the composite material, formed by the reinforcing fibres impregnated in a polymeric matrix which is not yet crosslinked or completely polymerised, to which the polymeric film is applied, preferably on both the principal surfaces.
  • the finishing layer of metallised composite material may be arranged as the outermost layer of the first portion, in a position immediately underlying the polymeric film, or may be arranged above the film, on the opposite side from the first portion.

  • the arm 1 extends in a predominant longitudinal direction and on it can be identified a length L, a height H, considered in the direction transverse to the length L, and substantially parallel to the head of the user when wearing the spectacles, and also a thickness T.
  • the value of the length L of the arm may be suitably varied in order to obtain spectacles of different types, for example spectacles for children, having arms with a limited length L, and spectacles for adults having arms with a greater length L.
  • the arm 1 may further be shaped in such a way as to have various different values for the height H, depending on the use of the spectacles and on the specific design selected.
  • arms known as reduced height arms may be produced, having values for height H of less than around 4 mm, and arms known as raised height arms, having higher values for height H.
  • the arm 1 comprises a first end 2 suitable for being connected, via suitable connecting means, to a front frame 1 b of the spectacles 1 a and a second end 3 , opposed to the end 2 , and intended to be slipped onto the ear of a user, or in any case in contact with the user's head.
  • the second end 3 may comprise a curved zone 4 suitably shaped so as to facilitate the slipping on of the spectacles provided with the arm 1 and to improve the wearability thereof on a specific user.
  • An end section or a support element may be provided on the end 3 .
  • the arm 1 comprises a first portion 11 made of polymer-based composite material reinforced with fibres and onto which are coupled, at the opposed surfaces S 1 and S 2 , respectively a first and a second film 23 , 24 , made of thermoplastic polymeric material.
  • the first portion 11 substantially forms the core of the arm 1 and preferably extends over its entire length in order to impart to it the characteristics of mechanical strength and lightness.
  • the first portion 11 comprises a plurality of layers 13 of composite material, comprising a matrix based on epoxide resin reinforced with long carbon fibres in a proportion of between 50% and 70% by weight.
  • the number of superposed layers 13 is variable according to the configuration and the characteristics required of the arm 1 , and is preferably between 2 and 5.
  • the first portion 11 further comprises a finishing layer 25 , outside the layers 13 and facing towards the principal surface S 1 , so as to be in a position immediately underlying the film 23 .
  • the films 23 , 24 preferably entirely cover the first portion 11 and are optically transparent.

  • the finishing layer is provided only at the film 23 and at the principal surface 51 , in view when the spectacles are being worn, although it is possible to provide one also in a position directly in contact with the film 24 , at the principal surface S 2 .
  • the arm 1 further comprises a covering 5 , made of thermoplastic or elastomeric material, for example polyurethane-based, and is preferably overmoulded on the polymeric films 23 , 24 so as to cover the end portion of the arm 1 , at the end 3 and in particular along the edges 6 of the arm, delimiting the principal surfaces 51 , S 2 .
  • a covering 5 made of thermoplastic or elastomeric material, for example polyurethane-based, and is preferably overmoulded on the polymeric films 23 , 24 so as to cover the end portion of the arm 1 , at the end 3 and in particular along the edges 6 of the arm, delimiting the principal surfaces 51 , S 2 .
  • a window 7 through which the film 23 and the first portion 11 can clearly be seen.
  • the arm 1 may comprise other elements made of thermoplastic or elastomeric material which are moulded on the films 23 and/or 24 , such as logos, decorative patterns, or an end element of the arm.
  • first and the second film 23 , 24 on opposite sides of the first portion 11 renders the structure of the arm 1 substantially symmetrical and balanced, with a high dimensional stability, which proves particularly important in the production stage of the arm, as explained hereinafter.
  • a arm 50 is shown, representing a second exemplary embodiment in which corresponding elements are indicated by the same reference numbers as in the preceding example.
  • the arm 50 differs from the arm 1 in that the finishing layer 25 made of metallised composite material is coupled onto the first film 23 and/or on the second film 24 , on the opposite side from the first portion 11 , such that the film is interposed between the first portion 11 and the finishing layer 25 .
  • a layer of varnish 26 is subsequently applied which is useful for correcting any surface defects present on the finishing layer 25 , further improving the aesthetic appearance of the arm 1 .
  • a arm 100 is shown, representing a third exemplary embodiment in which corresponding elements are indicated by the same reference numbers as in the preceding examples.
  • the arm 100 differs from the arms of the preceding examples in that the first portion 11 is divided into two sub-portions 111 a and 111 b , arranged within the arm 100 separately and symmetrically, and each of which is coupled at the respective principal surfaces onto thermoplastic polymeric films 123 , 124 .
  • the two sub-portions 111 a and 111 b are connected and held coupled to each other by a covering 105 of thermoplastic or elastomeric material, for example polyurethane-based, which is interposed between the two sub-portions as well as on the edges 6 of the arm.
  • a covering 105 of thermoplastic or elastomeric material, for example polyurethane-based
  • the spectacle arms 1 , 50 and 100 according to the invention are obtained by cutting from a plate, according to a predetermined configuration.
  • the plate is obtained by the superposition of several layers 13 of material to which is a precursor of the composite material, intended to form the first portion 11 of the arm 1 , 50 , or a sub-portion 111 of the arm 100 .
  • preimpregnates are known per se and are substantially formed by a substrate of fibres (woven or “mat”) which is impregnated with the base components of a non-crosslinked thermosetting polymer, or with a polymer in the incompletely polymerised state.
  • the layers 13 there may then be applied to the layers 13 , also on only one side, a finishing layer 25 of a material which is a precursor of the metallised composite and then, on both the principal surfaces, the thermoplastic polymeric films 23 , 24 .
  • the method of production of the arm 50 provides for the application of the finishing layer 25 to take place after the films 23 , 24 have been applied to the layers 13 .
  • the plate is then subjected to a suitable treatment in order to transform the precursor material into the composite material of interest.
  • the plate in the preferred case of composite material having an epoxide-based matrix, provision is made for the plate to be introduced into a mould and subjected to a temperature and pressure such as to induce the crosslinking of the matrix itself. The plate is then extracted from the crosslinking mould and cut in such a way as to obtain a plurality of arms 1 , 50 . Cutting may be carried out with water or with a milling machine, or also by means of cutting with a laser.
  • the layer of varnish 26 is preferably applied to the finishing layer 25 .
  • the films 23 , 24 are instead in an outside position (arm 1 ), it is preferable to trim the arms in order to eliminate the burrs formed during the cutting operations.
  • thermoplastic or elastomeric material for example by means of injection-moulding, or by casting, in order to produce decorative patterns, a support element for the arm, etc.
  • the adhesion between thermoplastic or elastomeric material and the polymeric film 23 or 24 in fact proves to be particularly sound.
  • the surface quality of the films 23 , 24 is normally optimum, such that the varnishing operation may be omitted.
  • a finishing layer to be in part applied beneath the polymeric film, on the same side as the layers 13 , as in the arm 1 , and in part on top of the film itself, on the opposite side from the layers 13 , as in the arm 50 .
  • the method of production of the arm 100 provides for the formation of the sub-portions 111 a and 111 b by cutting from a plate, similarly to the first portions 11 of the arms 1 , 50 , after the sub-portions are suitably positioned in a mould into which the thermoplastic or elastomeric material forming the covering 105 is preferably injected.
  • the present invention therefore solves the problem disclosed above and achieves the set aims, providing numerous other advantages at the same time.
  • a first advantage lies in the fact that owing to the distinct characteristics of resilience provided by the arm produced according to the invention, it is not necessary to have recourse to resilient return devices to be interposed between the arm and the front frame.
  • a further advantage lies in the fact that the presence of the polymeric film makes it possible, in the unfortunate event of breakage of the arm, to retain the splinters of composite material which might form and to mask, at least partially, the sharp edges.
  • a further advantage lies in the fact that the arms obtained according to the present invention, besides the optimum properties of mechanical strength, resilience and flexibility, also have a particularly low weight.
